The Invention Of Lying star Ricky Gervais admits he feels “too intimidated” to work with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

The actor — who stars alongside Jennifer Garner in his new movie and has previously worked with Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller and Samuel L Jackson — says he would love the chance to share the screen with the likes of Jack Nicholson, Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood — but he’s too scared.

“There are people that I want to work with but I’m too intimidated. There are a few people that I’d be worried about working with – the greats: Jack Nicholson, Scorsese and Clint Eastwood,” he said.

“So there are still people out there who intimidate me.

“I think they would catch me out finally. I’ve got away with murder until now and they would blow that.”

Rotund Ricky recently revealed how he broke three director’s chairs on the set of The Invention Of Lying.

“I do have a director’s chair… and this is embarrassing. I don’t know why I’m telling you this but I broke three,” he said. “Not because they’re those sort of like canvas ones.

“But they must have been faulty ones. I ripped the canvas three times and it’s so embarrassing getting the runner and going: ‘I’ve broken another one’.”
